Unlike the rights protected by the 2nd Amendment there is no direct constitutional right to own drugs. Like abortion's legality based on an implied right to privacy, I suppose you could constuct one based on the explicit "right to the pursuit of happiness" guaranteed to us. However, since this has never been challanged then the law states the mere ownership of certain chemicals is illegal. Its not unlike the law stating the mere ownership of the feather of an endangered species is illegal and punishable by huge fines. The basis for this is a presumption of guilt that you killed the eagle the feather came from. Now, to me that is as unconstitutional as you can get.
